Piano again, and now we're off and running with practices and moving forward with this strange notion that yes, we can in fact play the piano. Daddy is way behind Madison at this point, although he is attempting to catch up some. He knows just enough of the basics, but Madison seems to be able to find her way around without much difficulty whatsoever. Daddy is jealous, of course! Practice makes perfect though, and that's what Madison has been doing - quite a bit of it this week without Daddy. But in class, the evidence of her practice shown through. She did well, keeping up and playing along with the class. Her rhythm still needs a tiny bit of work, but I suspect that's something that comes ...in time.
Yeah, a bad joke.
Presently, she doesn't have much homework - it's 20 minutes of reading per day. This is easily accomplished on the way to and from her many destinations. So homework is already sorted out by the time she gets home. This leaves room for other activities, like origami. Madison is quite addicted to making Origami Yodas. She currently has quite a few of them, the ones that are easier to make. These are called "Emergency Origami Yodas,"apparently several steps short of the more complicated ones. Currently, there is one riding atop of Thor's Chariot, ready to go and visit with the folks at Valhalla.
We have to scan some of her homework as soon as possible to post it here. She has thoughtful writings, and humorous writings as well. Some of it was written during week one, where she describes herself. Other bits are more creative endeavors. She definitely likes the sea turtles, as you can see a lot of those in her drawings as of late. Make-up story time, however, leaves behind the sea faring motif, and goes to a place a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away. She really liked a Clone Wars episode that featured padawans in training under Ahsoka Tano, who is by far her favorite teacher.
Other than, of course, Origami Yoda...
